Returning a read-only item to active status
Use this procedure when you want to return a read-only item to an editable state.
Note: When you made the field read-only, the system automatically removed the field from the tabbing sequence by assigning it a value of 0 (zero.) When you return the item to active status, the system does not automatically change the tabbing sequence value from 0.
